At Blue Llama Events, we don’t simply plan events—we design experiences that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with style, intention, and heart.
After graduating from college, I began my career photographing weddings. While I loved capturing the beauty and emotion of those moments, I quickly realized my true passion was helping couples create the experience itself. I was drawn to guiding clients through the entire journey—from the earliest ideas and design concepts to the final celebration. That realization led me into event planning, where I have been helping couples bring their visions to life ever since.
Over the years, what began as a personal passion has grown into a dedicated team at Blue Llama Events. Today, our company includes six talented planners along with a bridal concierge team, all committed to providing thoughtful guidance, meticulous planning, and an elevated experience for every client we serve.
Together, we work collaboratively to ensure each celebration is beautifully designed, seamlessly executed, and truly unforgettable.
